5 Good Things I Do and 5 Things I Want

One of my favorite bloggers, Anna at The Mommy Padawan, had the opportunity to choose this week’s topic for Monday Listicles.  Apparently she had trouble deciding, because there are two topics.  I love Anna, but I do not love making decisions. 

“If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.” ~Rush, Freewill

I chose not to decide.  And as the great progressive rock band, Rush, tells us, this means I made a choice.  So here’s this week’s Monday’s Listicles divided in half.

Things I Am Good At:

1. Dancing:  I’ve been a dancer all my life.  I no longer do it formally, but if you set up a secret video recording device in my home, you’d catch me in the act quite a bit.

2. Web Surfing/Curating Content:  I curate a lot of content.  I used to think it was a waste of time.  However, a recent article at FastCompany (can be found within the 191 pins in my pin board for Tech and EdTech)indicates that Content Curators are the New Superheroes of the Web.  You may now address me as Super Sperk*

3. Procrastinating:  Most of my procrastination time is spent on Web Surfing/Content Curation, so it is debatable if I even have a procrastination problem.  I may enter a program for Library Science to make my penchant for procrastination legit.

4. Teacher:  I am not one by trade but considering obtaining my license.  I’ve spent many hours volunteering in my kids’ classrooms and offering lessons to my family members and everyone agrees—I’m good at it.  I happen to like it, too.

5. Being a Mom: My lack of boastful self-confidence almost kept this one off the list.  Significant Other said it should be on here.  You want to know how I ended up being a good mom?  I followed my instincts (and of course looked up any relevant content on the Web).

Things I Would Do in 48 Hours 

With Unlimited Resources and Time:

1. Purchase VIP tickets to Bonarroo Music and Arts Festival:  I’ve been twice.  I’d go every year regardless of the lineup because I love the atmosphere of live music surrounding me at all times.  Plus, it’s in Tennessee and I love the south. 

2. Buy a 2013 Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible:  It's just a bad ass American car.  I've always wanted one.

3. Acquire Residence at The Condominiums at North Bank Park: I’m not a house girl. I want one of these condos in the heart of the ArenaDistrict in downtown Columbus, Ohio. I’ll take one on the top floor.

4. Hire a web designer and marketing expert for Sperk*:  I have a vision for Sperk* but I need help.  Plus, everyone needs Sperk* and I have a responsibility to make sure it’s easy to get.

5. Day at the Salon:  I'm not picky.  I'll take a day at any nicer salon in town with hair and skin services.  My hair needs done, my face is broken out, and I have deep lines between my brows.  I would feel much better if I could have the aforementioned rectified.  And I deserve to feel good!
